    Hey everyone! I've been currently rebuilding a 68 Nova and recently noticed that my car has a pretty drastic lean on the drivers side. I can't remember if the car was like this when I bought it or it's something that I did. I haven't messed with the suspension too much really. I put on new KYB...

    Hey all! After swapping a SBC 383 stroker into my 4-door '74 Olds Omega, I finally got around to changing the front springs to the correct-for-V8 Nova rate (along with a set of Bilsteins). The car sits a little high in the front, which is fine, as these new springs have zero miles on them and...

    Hey Guys, I own a 64 Nova SS. I have CPP HD Stock Height Springs on the Front and Monroe Sensatrack shocks. It bottoms out frequently and leans a lot in the corners. I like a stiff ride, I was really surprised that the HD springs were not stiffer. Should I change my shocks and go with some race...

    I'm having a hard time locating info on what springs to look for for my car. I'd like something pretty stock. I'd like to find something on ebay. I'm looking at the moog 6080 right now, but, i'm just wanting to make sure that they're correct. I'm wanting a nice smooth ride. Also, the shocks...
